How about 9" cube? No special reason - just want to make it a bit easier. ;)

With a 12 foot height we need to able to lower the rope remotely i.e. pulley at
the top. Since most of the time the bots will get stuck up there, having people
climb up 9 foot ladder all the time takes too long and is a big safety hazard.
It worries me that we may see disintegrating bot falling on people's head, but I
like the height which will look really cool.
I prefer to allow the bot to leave part of it on the ground. The objective is
to ring the bell, like getting the flag in the gap crossing game. I would
rather see small quick climbers than slow ones trying pull 2 RCX & 4+ moters at
1 cm/s.
Which month will this event happen?
